I still have yet to get into the PvP, but if that's what my MCH gear looks like, then it's not on the top of my priority list by any means. That's easily some of the worst looking "unique" gear I've seen in the game IMO.....
As for the rest, I like the tank, caster, and healer gear, but the other classes, not so much.......
EDIT:
Also, this. Why do all the melee DPS classes get different appearances, while the Ranged share one, the tanks share one, the DPS casters share one, and the healers share one? Particularly in the case of MCH and BRD, there are very few gear set ups that fit with both's style in terms of appearances. I think my gear set up fits well with my MCH, but I don't think it would work for a BRD half as well. The same is true in reverse. These two classes are on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of what their gear should look like. BRD is more in tune with nature and, (obviously), singing, where as MCH is more about technology, advancement, and, (admittedly), explosives. Those just don't mesh when it comes to what they would choose as their gear of choice......Quote:

If we're going purely on Lore then it makes sense that only Bard style gear would exist, but I somehow doubt these choices in gear appearances were lore based as much as they were "MCH and BRD already share items, so we'll only make one set of new gear", with them choosing a Bard style for the set.....
Congrats, Bards, you're now *officially* bow mages.

Only the BLM set looked good. All the other sets looked hideous.

So... Err.... Looking at the other sets, I noticed something;

Summoners 3.0 Relic got demoted to PvP gear?
As for the other sets... Glad I'm enjoying Dark Knight, because as usual I'm left lamenting the fact that Ninjas options for Ninja-looking sets are woefully limited. Law was a swing and a miss (seriously, what the hell are Ohojo? Why am I duel wielding swords? Why is Yoshimitsu still my only option for a Ninja style weapon?) and so is this... Still, guess it's better than the Batliege* set... /shudders
*minus those glorious pants, of course. The hakidate were the only good take away from that set... -

Ehh, but the monk fists are looking really cool. I can't say for the other classes tho. I guess DoM jobs got the short end of the stick this time. I swear the ilvl110 ones looked way better. I don't even know what the theme of the upcoming PvP gear are.
